The large number of applicants exemplifies this, according to EA21 Task Force founder and mentor Rebecca Brown, who is also a coach. ” This program has definitely grown in popularity since its inception. The quality of candidates and the EA21 Task Force “are blown away each year by the value of the applicants,” according to the EA21 Task Force and instructors. The selections are a rigorous process every year. If you did not get chosen to participate this year, stay applying! Just because you did not make it this year, does n’t mean you are n’t a great candidate for the following year. We are hoping to get yoμ involved in the software in the future by watching you, supporting you, and hoρing for you.
